HiI was terminated during my 6th month of pregnancy and was denied my maternity pay of 3 months too. I sent a legal notice to them and approached labor inspectors. After almost a year both me and employers were called for settlement. They are agreeing to pay me 65% of my claim amount so that it doesn't go through court litigation. I'm losing about 1.5 lakhs if i accept the 65%, my lawyer is advising me to take it as the litigation is hectic expensive and takes long. What do i do. Accept and close or file n go through litigation. My son is now 1 year old.

HI As per law you are not liable to be terminated when you are nearly 6 months pregnant. i think you should file a case in court as you will get your full money and also the damages in lieu of mental stress and tension

Hi It will not take long(max of six months). you will need to attend court only for 4 days(once at admission, once during evidence , once during cross examination and once at the time of decree) . each visit will be for not more than 3/4 hours. per visit.

HiI will leave the decision to you as it is only you who has to decide whether to settle with 75% or settle with 100% plus penalties. at the end of the day, we advocates need to abide by client's wishes. Best of luck
